Behavioral Case
The interview was a Zoom meeting with the Marion County people. They emailed me the questions after the interview started. The job description said it was a policy analyst role, but they told me it was strictly a communications position and no policy analysis would be involved. It felt disorganized, like I was interviewing them, and they hadn't prepared. It was uncomfortable.
